To get the policy and politics right means being the party of control, compassion and international cooperation - for voters looking for the viable alternative to Farage, not an implausible imitation and echo.
Focus on what can reduce flows - scale controlled routes to return those outside them

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:
— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap
— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage

I’ve always wanted PR, which enables people to know that their voice counts, promotes more diversity of views, and is a route for more radical policies to enactment. But, I worry that this also goes for radical policies of the right, and even PR is not proof against a descent into autocracy.

A divided left is the way to guarantee a Farage Reich and all the horrors that will involve for ordinary people and minorities .
When faced with the stark option of a fascist or a wooly bourgeois social democrat, the correct choice is always the latter.
